Randolph) for a limited three-week engagement July 3 – 22, 2018, and will be casting two young girls to perform the role of “Lulu” for the duration of the engagement.

WAITRESS tells the story of “Jenna”, an expert pie baker working at a local diner and stuck in a loveless marriage. Her salvation comes in the form of her daughter, “Lulu.”

The character of “Lulu” is a sweet and carefree 4 to 5-year-old who appears in the production’s finale scene. Qualified young girls should be shorter than 4’2 and be no older than 5 years and 3 months. Individual applicants are welcome, as are sets of twins or siblings. Space is limited to the first 80 applicants to sign up.

The “Search for Lulu” will take place in Chicago at the Cadillac Palace Theatre (151 W. Randolph) on Tuesday, May 22 starting at 12:00PM (noon). Each audition is expected to take approximately 5 minutes, however this may vary. Parents should be prepared to stay at the audition for approximately 1-2 hours. The audition will consist of the child reading two lines from the show. If possible, parents should bring a current head shot and resume for each child. Headshot, resume and prior acting experience is not required. Sign up here: https://bit.ly/2jtUjKQ
